Hi again, 

Currently, we are tracking two issues:

• Freezing loading screen
• Memory leak in certain parts of the game.

The team is asking for more information which I will detail below. I am asking for responses from only players who are impacted by these issues and can provide the answers we need in order to troubleshoot further.

For players who are experience the freezing screen issue: 

• Does your application become unresponsive and you crash or does the loading screen just sit there forever? 
• Does using control + U twice close the loading screen and allow you to play the game?

For players who are experiencing a memory leak: 

• Does this happen for all your characters? 
  • If only specific ones, which characters? 
• Does this happen on ev...

Good morning, 

We're still looking into the freezing screen issue. But we do need confirmation on one thing. 
 

@Melaras @HanniShindeiru Can you confirm that SWTOR is on the allowlist for you anti-virus/firewall? 

@CadeStive @TrixxieTriss

The team needs more info!

• When do you see the memory climbing?  Is it at character select, or open world, PvP, Ops, etc...?
  • Do you see it all the time or just with certain areas and activities?
• Anything that can help us reproduce your exact experience would be helpful.

@JackieKo It's not been solved, memory leak is still going on. @TrixxieTriss is head on the nail with it. You legit have to restart the client to help the issue.

I'll forward to the team...

Hi all, 

I'm talking to a few people on my team to see if there's any info I can share back with you all to determine what the issue is with the freezing screens/unable to log into the game. I am asking that further comments only come from players who are directly impacted by this specific issue so we can track the conversation. If conversation continues to derail, I will have to lock the thread and open it back up when I have an update for everyone who is experiencing this issue. Thanks for your understanding!

Hi everyone,

Hey so I'm currently doing the Port Nowhere mission on my lethality operative and I noticed that the Toxic Haze green cloud doesn't appear anymore. My op throw the thing on the ground and there's nothing that visually appear after that. Also lots of clippings in the cinematic when Rikan, his sister are talking with one poor lone mando that just get walked through like he is a ghost.

Update: I can't see any holocom conversation, as in if someone hold the com nothing appear above, and if I answer a call I see no one speaking though I do hear what they say.

Hey there! Can you run the repair tool and see if that fixes your issue?

The new graphics settings look fine solo, but if you're in a group of more than 5 or so people, the game is unplayable. Our guild on Star Forge just tried to do a rampage/world boss run, and it was impossible. The game froze and stuttered non stop, and every single person's game crashed at least 4 times in 15 minutes. I don't think the new graphics settings can handle big groups-- I definitely think thats something yall need to look into ASAP

I forwarded this to the team to look into. Thanks for reporting this. All the details are very helpful! If we need more info, I'll send you a PM.

as ALWAYS happens.. my game is not working its hanging up on the first screen (the new one)..every single time their is an update i can't get back into the damn game

Can you please give more details on your experience/what you are seeing? Is the button grayed out? Is the patch showing it's downloading? Are you using the SWTOR launch or using Steam? Is it possible that your AV is blocking the game? It would be helpful to know these types of details. Thanks!

Big issue: I can't seem to get the Hyde and Zeek quests for 340 gear components, just the conversation where they tell me to wait for them to have new stuff. I have completed all previous quests on all my level 80 characters.

 

Others in the game have mentioned the same issue, no H&Z missions on characters that have completed all previous ones.

Team is investigating! Thanks for the report.
